WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage
and poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
brake fluids may result in a harmful che-
mical reaction, leading to poor brake
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder
reservoir. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the brake fluid and
could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
